Romney Calls Akin Comments ‘Inexcusable’

Mitt Romney wasted little time Monday morning distancing himself in strong terms from comments by a Missouri Republican candidate suggesting that the bodies of women who are raped can block unwanted pregnancies.

“Congressman’s Akin comments on rape are insulting, inexcusable, and, frankly, wrong,” Mr. Romney, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, told National Review Online. “Like millions of other Americans, we found them to be offensive.”
